Solar Stories: How Whitefeather Organics Added Sunshine to Their Harvest
When
Tony and Laura Whitefeather moved onto bare land in Custer, WI, in 2007, they were building more than a home. Over time, they built an organic farm, a family life, and a place rooted in purpose, community, and care for the future.
That same mindset is what led them to solar...
For Tony and Laura, going solar was a natural extension of the way they live. Their decision was shaped by a belief that everything they do should come from a place of purpose, community, and the thoughtful use of sensible technology. Solar fit that vision.

The Whitefeathers first installed solar in 2014 and expanded their system again in 2025, showing a long-term commitment to both renewable energy and the life they’ve built on their land.
When asked what benefits they’ve noticed from their solar electric system, Tony shared that it has brought “a sense of well-being and financial stability.” That combination of practical savings and peace of mind can make a meaningful difference for a family and farm built with intention.
Their experience working with Northwind Solar was “smooth and responsive,” and that positive relationship has lasted over the years. One of the biggest benefits of choosing Northwind, Tony said, is the confidence that the company will be there in the future if their system ever needs support. Knowing they partnered with a thriving, forward-looking business gave them added reassurance in their investment.
Tony says he would absolutely recommend Northwind to others because of the quality of the products and workmanship, and because Northwind stands behind its work.
Stories like Tony and Laura’s show that solar is about more than energy production alone. It can also be about stability, well-being, and making values-driven decisions that support your family, your land, and your future.

At Northwind Solar, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful a referral can be. When past customers share their story, what the process was like, how their system performs, and why they chose solar, it helps others feel confident taking the next step. That's exactly how five Stevens Point firefighters spread the solar spark! Over time, a close-knit group of retired firefighters turned decades of firehouse camaraderie into something bigger: a five-home solar ripple. Through trusted conversations, real-life experience, and shared values, one solar installation helped “spark” the next. Victor Kedrowski, Doug Christianson, Dennis Kitowski, Todd Becken, and Dennis Flanigan each chose to go solar with Northwind, and helped others feel confident doing the same through the kind of recommendation that only comes from people you truly trust.
